It looks like the progress has stopped because of the problems with the
license and lack of energy to start developing from the point where
license became "unfree".
Would it be enough, if someone (me for example) mails to Tuomo a text
asking to "approve" something like:
"Me, Tuomo Valkonen, permit the project "notion" to remove the special
clause:
'In the text of sections 0-2, 4-12, and 14-16 of the LGPL, "this
License"
is to be understood to refer to the LGPL extended with these terms and,
where applicable, possible similar terms related to the names of other
works forming a whole. Sections 3 and 13 of the LGPL are void. Where
contradictory, these additional terms take precedence over the LGPL.'
(did i miss something else?)
from the Ion3 License of <date>,
provided that all references to the Ion3 project (including the names of
directories and executables) are removed.
"
Would be a pgp-signed reply of Tuomo with text "Approved" enough?
I hope he does use pgp by default, because if he doesn't, he would not
waste his time to set it up just to permit "fosstards fosstardings his
project" (i guess you know what i mean). But if we do create a text
where he just have to press the "reply" and "send" buttons, he would
possibly do it, just to make us let him alone. What do you think?
